title: [The prostaglandin E content of the blood serum in mother and fetus during the reflex regulation of premature labor].
abstract: Prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis is promoted by enzyme activation induced by neurohormonal regulation, an important determinant of labor. However, contribution of PG to premature labor is largely uncertain. Maternal and fetal blood PGE levels have been determined during the reflex regulation of premature labor in 39 women and in 20 patients with spontaneous labor. The reflex regulation was performed as transcutaneous suprapubic and sacral electric stimulation. Comparison of PGE levels in the women and their newborns led to the conclusion that the reflex regulation of premature labour has modulating effects on PGE biosynthesis both in the mother and fetus, thereby modifying progress of labor.
